American Airline has system called "Jet Net"..it gives the crews to book their pleasure trip...it also allows friend (D3) to fly as well..

ex) 10/15, 14/35, 134/187

First Class Business Class Economy

Pls see the KVS Tool FAQ under
"Q: Is there a way to directly obtain actual cabin loads or boarding totals?"

With the Sabre: Fares/ZUJ method, routing rules aren't displaying any more. I get a slightly-abbreviated fare rules listing instead.

I tried this with BDA-TPE and BDA-ICN.

In the meantime, for proxy servers requiring authentication:

• Edit the KVS_AvailabilityTool.ini file and add the following:

  ProxyAuthorization=username:password

I'm using a local proxy with KVS, and every method works fine except for "Sabre: Fares/DotRes". When I attempt to use this method, I get: "Error
requesting data: Client authorization not setup [12045]". I tried adding the above to my KVS_AvailabilityTool.ini file, but my proxy does not require authentication, so I have no valid values for the username and password. Using arbitrary values still causes the same error to appear. Any suggestions?

What kind of a "local proxy" are you using?

Is there a tutorial on how to use this system? I just paid for a Platinum membership, and would like to use KVS Availability Tool to check OneWorld award availability.

Round-the-World and Other Special Circle Fares Now Supported 26 Apr 2008
To access Round-the-World Fares (such as Star Alliance/OneWorld/SkyTeam RTW), as well as other special Circle Fares (such as Circle Pacific, and Global Explorer):
Select [Sabre: Fares/ZUJ], and enter the city/airport code of the starting point in both the [From:] and [To:] fields.

Perhaps you could expand the instructions/expectations for this capability - like if a particular airline code must be entered? - because if I do what these instructions say, I get an error box:

---------------------------
KVS Availability Tool
---------------------------
Unable to Retrieve Fares:



"There are no fares offered between the selected cities."



""



If the reason(s) for the above error message are unclear, please click the [?] button to review the latest system status announcements.

There are no specific airline code entry requirements for this functionality, but I am considering introducing some interface changes to make retrieving such fares more intuitive...

What were your input parameters? Did you turn on the "One Way" flag, by any chance (RTW fares are R/T)?

Yah, I tried that but it seems to jump right into the nitty-gritty of little tricks you can do with the program.

I'm more interested in how to do and interpret the results of basic searches.

Is there a "Getting Started" guide, where maybe one is walked through a sample search?

To do a basic availability search, just type-in (or select) From/To/Date .

Have you read the "Interpreting Availability Results" section of the KVS Tool User Guide?

Oh, yes the One Way box was checked. I didn't even notice because I guess it was checked from prior use or something as I didn't click it when doing the search.

Thanks.

The users guide says that flight/operational information is available including specific reasons for delays. Yet the software appears to use FlightStats.com as the source of information. FlightStats.com, at least in my experience, does not give specific reasons for delays. Can the KVSTool pull specific delay information from the airlines's system, such as Sabre?
